Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been banned from attending the prestigious Oscars ceremony on March 13, marking a shift in their status from untouchable to vulnerable in the public eye.
The couple's recent exposure through the release of the Duke of Sussex's memoir and their Netflix documentary in January has sparked widespread jokes and mockery directed at them.
A royal insider has cautioned that Prince Harry and Meghan could face public humiliation at the Oscars due to the backlash they have received for their recent projects.
Amidst their ongoing conflicts with the royal family, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have faced criticism for their Netflix documentary and Harry's biography.
Public relations expert Matt Yanofsky has warned the couple that they may become targets for ridicule during the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony.
According to Yanofsky, Meghan and Harry are no longer shielded from criticism in the U.S., as demonstrated by the popular show South Park's willingness to lampoon the couple without fear of repercussions.
South Park, known for its fearless commentary on societal issues, has set a precedent for openly discussing controversial topics, including the royal couple.
By satirizing Meghan and Harry, the show has encouraged others to voice their opinions on the duo, much like comedian Chris Rock did in his recent stand-up special.
Yanofsky predicts that the couple may continue to be subjects of mockery in the future, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding their public image.
Comedian Chris Rock, who hosted the Oscars last year, took a swipe at Meghan Markle in his Netflix series Selective Outrage.
Rock expressed his disbelief at some of the claims made by Meghan about her knowledge of the royal family before marrying Prince Harry.
He humorously questioned Meghan's lack of research on her future in-laws, likening it to marrying into a family known for their drinking habits.
Meghan's allegations of racism within the royal family, particularly regarding discussions about her son Archie's skin tone, have been met with skepticism by Rock.
He dismissed the notion that questioning the baby's potential skin color was inherently racist, emphasizing that such inquiries are not uncommon even among black individuals.
The comedian's remarks shed light on the complexities of the controversies surrounding Meghan and Harry.
The global sensation show South Park recently aired an episode titled “The Global Privacy Tour,” which mercilessly mocked the royal couple.
The episode portrayed Harry's memoir “Spare” in a satirical light, questioning the couple's desire for privacy while craving attention simultaneously.
Despite the backlash from the show, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess dismissed the reports as unfounded, hinting at potential legal action against the creators.
The declining popularity of Meghan and Harry, compounded by their association with controversial media portrayals, has raised concerns about their future public standing.
Media personality Megyn Kelly remarked that being targeted by South Park signifies a significant decline in public favor for the couple, casting doubt on Meghan's rumored political aspirations.
The couple's response to such criticisms will likely shape their public perception moving forward.
In a separate royal development, Prince Andrew's request for a £32,000-a-year Indian healer has been denied by King Charles.
The Duke of York had been seeking financial support from the Privy Purse for the services of a yogi, but King Charles has opted to cut expenses by refusing to cover the cost.
This decision marks a departure from Queen Elizabeth's previous approval of Andrew's annual claims for the healer's services, signaling a shift in financial accountability within the royal family.
Reports suggest that Prince Andrew regularly hosts the male yogi at Royal Lodge for extended periods to receive holistic treatments.
With King Charles insisting that Andrew foot the bill for the healer's services, the Duke's reliance on royal funds for personal matters has come under scrutiny.
The denial of financial support underscores the changing dynamics within the royal household under the new monarch's reign, reflecting a more stringent approach to managing expenses.
